New date for Light + Building Show: September 27 to October 2nd

25.02.2020 -

Light + Building 2020 together with Intersec Building will take place from September 27 to October 2nd in Frankfurt right after the Security Essen show (September 22 to 25).

On Monday, Messe Frankfurt had to postpone Light + Building because of the increasing spread of the Coronavirus in Europe. The world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building-services technology will now be held in Frankfurt am Main between the middle and end of September 2020. The unexpected appearance of Covid-19 in Italy since last weekend demanded a new analysis of the situation, Messe Frankfurt announced.

The decision was made in close cooperation with the public-health authorities of the City of Frankfurt. A multi-stage health check on guests from China has been called for, the implementation of which would have been extremely challenging for Messe Frankfurt. After Germany, the largest groups of exhibitors and visitors come from China and Italy. Additionally, more and more travel restrictions are being put into place thus making it difficult for both visitors and exhibitors to attend the fair.

The decision is supported by Light + Building’s cooperation partners: the Electrical Installation Systems and the Light Working Groups of the Central Association of the German Electrical and Electronic Engineering Industry (ZVEI) and the Central Association of German Electricians (ZVEH). The foremost Italian associations also back this decision.
